people have coveted it
in different ways since time began
Is it got in costly gems
or in bubbly bottles.
In exoctic elusive locales
in whimsical music scores
in chaste expressions of art
in pleasures debauched .
in a lovers arms
in an infants smile
in warm sunny smiles
in a cherished precious face .
the thought or the moment vary
the flame within you it has to be
The joy you feel is lit from within
it should be in your very breath.
any rainbow is colourless
without the happy hue in your eye
Happiness is that which
happens in essence,
within the us of us.
